Ice Cream and A Phone Call
The three cars (Scott's convertible, Jean's SUV, and Amy's van) was enough to get the large group of teens (yes even Magneto in his teen form went). It was a ten-minute drive to the local ice cream shop. Scott went up to the counter and ordered everyone's ice cream he found out what everyone wanted on the way to the shop. (If you think I'm gonna bore you with what everyone got, you're safe. I won't). The large group sat at various tables that were close together. Four sat at each separate table. Everyone was digging into their ice cream. "Amara you have chocolate all over your face." Pietro. "Thanks." Amara said as she took a napkin and wiped the chocolate off her lips.
(The table was Pietro, Rogue, Amara, and Alicia.) "Pietro, do ah have anything on my mouth?" Rogue asked, she wanted some 'boyfriend' type attention. "A little." Pietro answered. Soon the couple was kissing to 'get the chocolate off'. "Down boy." Alicia said to Pietro with a grin. "We are in public you two. Don't let that kiss take you too far." Alicia said in a low voice. "Nice image." Pietro retorted sarcastically and with a little drool on his lips. " Ok now yer making me see things" Alicia shook the scenes out of her thoughts. The whole table was in laughter. After five minutes the four calmed down. Ring Ring. Alicia's cell phone rang and vibrated. "Ah wonder who'd be callin' me. Not many people have this number." Alicia dug her phone out of her pocket and looked on the caller ID. "Dad." Alicia whispered. She picked up with trembling hands "Hello?" she asked in a small voice.
"Hi baby, it's me your ol' man. Ah have some good news." The man replied to his daughter. "Ah'm scared ta ask." Alicia said in a low voice and took a bite out of her chocolate swirl ice cream. " I'm going to be living at the Xavier institute with you, your mother, and you brother and sister. Isn't that great?" he asked. He most certainly not see his daughter's face, but she gulped her bite of ice cream and her face had the 'deer in the headlights' gesture. "What do you care about me all the sudden. Ah thought you told Stan to have me because you wanted nothing to do with Katie and me after you an' momma separated. Now, you want to move in where ah live?" Alicia was fed up with him.
"Alicia, who are you talking to?" Amy asked. "Daddy wants to move into the institute. By the way, how in the heck did he get my cell phone number?" Alicia asked. Her mother was shocked to hear Alicia and Katie's father was calling. "Let me see the phone." Amy held her hand out for the phone. "You two will just fight. Let me an' Katie decide about this. Katie come here a second if you please." Alicia asked her sister. The two sisters whispered amongst themselves for a few minutes then came to a conclusion. "Okay, Dad? Katie an' ah will let you move in, but with a few rules. First you can't date for two weeks and second no drinking or smoking at all." Alicia stated into the phone in a serious voice. "Not to worry babe. I'm engaged. To who? A prostitute?" Alicia asked angrily into her phone. "Are you crazy? Of course not. I've been dating this very good-looking and very smart nurse. She says she could apply for a job transfer and join me in Bayville when she can." He father explained.
"Okay, when will you be coming?" Katie took over the phone from her sister. "Hey Kate. Ah'll be in Bayville in one week. See ya then. I have to go, ah'll call back in a couple of days. Love you bye." "Love you too, bye." Katie answered and then the father hung up. "I can't believe Alex just called." Amy was still shocked. "Well, he's moving in and ah like the idea." Said Alicia longing to see her father after five long years. "How did he get Alicia's cell number?" asked Amara, who was a little confused.
"It use to be mine, but ah gave it to Alicia a year ago last Christmas." Amy answered. "Let's get back to talking about boyfriends and girlfriends like SCOTT AND JEAN." Katie said loud enough so Jean and Scott could hear her. Katie was trying to get everyone to laugh to lighten the gloomy mood. "Y ou better not." Protested Scott when he heard the comment. "Just kidding." Katie said. "Let's dig in our ice cream." Rogue stated. 'Dad's movin' in. It's gonna feel weird.' Alicia thought.
